Meetings, head to head
Briefi vs Rev
These are built for different work. Rev presents itself as an investigative platform with pricing plans for legal and investigative work: transcription for prosecution, defence, law enforcement, civil law and court reporting, with human-verified transcripts and deposition citations. Briefi is for client-facing meetings in professional services: a brief before you meet, a follow-up drafted and sent from your own mailbox, and the meeting filed to the client’s record. If you transcribe evidence, interviews or depositions, Rev is built for that. If you advise clients and owe them something after each meeting, Briefi keeps that in one place.

Where Briefi is different
The meeting is one step in the client’s story.
Briefi was built for people who meet the same clients for years. The notes are where a meeting ends, and what you owe the client is what comes next.
- A brief before you meetMeetings
Briefi writes a brief ahead of the meeting, so you walk in knowing the history, the open actions and what was promised last time.
- The follow-up, from your own mailboxMeetings
The recap becomes a follow-up draft you can edit and send from your Gmail, Microsoft 365 or SMTP mailbox, so it arrives from you.
- An action register, not a list in a noteMeetings
Actions from every meeting land in one register, with reminders on Pro and up, so nothing lives only in last month’s notes.
- The meeting on the client’s recordAdvisor
Advisor puts meetings, forms, signed copies and registers for a client on one record, with an optional client portal.
Meetings on its own has no client record, signing or portal. Advisor adds them on the same workspace.
